Give Us More Blood.

PIrTsBURG, PA, Sept. 1.-THE
much talked of prize-fght between
the feather weights, Jimmy Rowan
of this city and Martin Dempsey, of
Brooklyn, proved to be a fizzle. The
men met near Williamsburg, Pa, at
day break to day, and instead of
using skin gloves as proposed they
fought with four ounce gloves. This
occasioned considerable grumbling
among the spectators who had paid
So each to witness the mill, and af-
ter 26 rounds of harmless fighting
the crowd became so Disguised that
q draw had to be declared. The
fight lasted two hours and at its
conclusion there was not q scratch
on either contestants face to denote
that there had been an encounter.

did not. On September the % Con-

BALTIMORE, Sept. 14.-William +.
Burns presided at the monthly meet
ing of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road directors to day and stated
that the temporary arrangement for
So, 100000 had been made as author
lied by the board at its last meet
ing that negotiations were still in
progress for the permanent funding
of the debt, and that when these
were sufficiently advanced the whole
matter would be submitted to the
Finance Committee and then to the
board for its action. AS stated
heretofore the negotiations contem
plate that the syndicate shall buy
SIS, 100000 of the consolidated main
line mortgage bonds and $5,000,000
of the preferred stock; that the en-
tire issue Of consolidated main line
mortgage bonds would be $28,000,-
900, and with the exception of the
S. 900, 900, which will be taken by
the syndicate, the remainder will be
used for retiring at maturity the ex-
listing main line mortgage indebted
ness and for sinking fund PURPOSES
thus saving to the company the an
nual cash appropriations now requir-
ed for these sinking funds.
Mr.. Burns stated that the syndi-
cate was not in the interest OF any
other corporation, and that the
management of the Baltimore and
Ohio Company would be as free as
ever from the domination of any rival
or competitive interest. He called
the attention of the board to the fact
that the earnings of the company for
August were $2,OS4, 900, the largest
earnings of any month in the com.
pany's history, and that unless
something unforeseen occurred the
earnings for September would be
greater than those for August.

VISITING Medicals SWindIed.

While the Medical Congress was in
cession at Washington last week a
number Of alleged guides who con-
gregate around the Washington
Monument drove a thriving business,
and made considerable money sell
ing pieces of marble to the visitors in
the city, with the representation that
the chips were. pieces of the capstone.
These mementoes, which had proba-
bly, been picked up from the ground,
sold readily at fifty cents each. When
the strangers exhibited their pur-
chases to the local doctors, the latter
expressed their opinion that swim
die had been practised. Complaint
was made to the officers of the Mon
ument commission, and an attempt
will now be made to prosecute the
sellers of the marble chipsfor obtain
ing money under false preteises.

LEADERS OF THE RED FLAG.
The defendant Fielden owned some
stock in the Alarm, and it was under
the management of Engel and others
of the defendants. The court holds
that these defendants were the chief
movers, and the centre of any, and
all communistic meetings in Chica-
go, and that they we're there in per-
son and were always pronounced
leaders of the red flag. The evidence
was, says his honor, that there were
twenty-five to thirty labor unions in
Chicago at that time, embracing
membership OF from $4,000 to l6,-
600. A large majority of these men
were honest, industrious men, work
ing daily for their daily bread, we'll
meaning men, and having no thought
of anarchy or any gifts hateful doc
trines. The court says that heassem-
blage for any ordinary purpose would
have been lawful, but these meetings
were not conducted as lawful assem-
blages.
The opinion, in conclusion, states
that each Of these defendants wilful-
ly and maliciously violated the laws
Of the State of Illinois, and that each
shall suffer the extreme penalty fix
ed by the court of Cook county on
the day previously stated.
Judge Mulkey said - 1t is not my
intention to offer separate opinion,
as | should have done. | desire to
avail myself of this occasion to say
that while | concur in the conclu-
sions reached and also in the gener-
al views as entered in the opinion
filed, do not wish to be understood
as holding that the record is free
from error, for do not think it is.
am nevertheless Of the opinion
that none Of the errors complained
of are of such serious character as to
require reversal Of the judgement.
In view of the number Of defendants
on trial, the great length Of time
consumed in the trial, the vast
amount Of testimony offered and
passed upon by the court, and the al
most numberless rulings which the
court was required to make, the
wonderment to me is that the errors
were not more numerous and Of
more serious character than they
are. In short, after having fully ex-
amined the record and giving the
questions arising on it my very best
thought, with an earnest conscien-
tious desire to faithfully discharge
my whole duty, l am fully satisfied
that the opinion reached vindicates
the law and does complete justice be-
tween the people Of the State and
the defendants, fully warranted by
the law and the evidence"
Justice Sheldon then said: Gin
this case the court orders that the
sentence of the Superior Court of
Cook county of the defendants
in the indictment against August
Spies, Michael Schwab. Samuel
Fielden, r. Parsons, Adolph Fisch-
er, Engel, Louis Lingg be carried in
to effect by the sheriff of Cook coun-
ty on the 18th day of November
next, on Friday, between the hours
of 10 o'clock forenoon on that" The
judgement of the court was unani-
nous.
